Cate Blanchett is such a legend in acting, she could play a character where she's just sleeping or play a tree and gives one of the greatest performance of all time and wins an Oscar

Her performance in Tár blew my mind and soul off. Just gripping, riveting, exquisite, powerful yet so so sad. And Nina Hoss?! Damn, her acting is stunning. The more you see the film, the more you grasp those subtle nuances. No need to mention Todd's mastery. And I'm in so love with Todd and Cate duo 😭

[@hylee6857]

Nina's acting is great. I still remember her face with a mixed feelings when Lydia looks Sophi in concert hall.

[@yessssand]

@@hylee6857 ikr. So subtly superb. Only if Nina had some more scenes, she's going to be an award shows' favs... not that awards matter, are good at or important in defining artists' works. But, still tho.

[@hts8420]

I wasn’t too impressed with Hoss, and I’m confused by the praise. She did her job like you’d expect any good actor to do. But was it outstanding? I personally didn’t think so.

[@yessssand]

@@hts8420 It's fair. As you say, she is a great actor and she gave a great performance. So, I think the praises are also quite fair. For me, Nina was fabulous. My fav part about her performance is that she didn't flinch a bit. Because Cate has such a presence in a frame , it may be hard to even be visible sometimes. Yet, Nina's ability to remain subtly powerful against and besides Cate is strategically gorgeous. Plus, sometimes, she even seemed to be the main control of their relationship. Her performance is dynamic, futile, nuanced and simply clever. To add more, her eyes' work is outstanding. Her eyes stayed consistent. They were always in this atmosphere of constant judgement and calculation in every scene with Cate. I think her performance is outstanding.

[@hts8420]

@@yessssand that’s interesting. I guess I didn’t pay as much attention. I’ll have to do a rewatch.

[@cinefiend4059]

For those who haven’t seen it yet, Tár is an incredible film. The kind of film that deserves repeat viewings for its mystery and a main character that’s so fascinating to watch. And Cate is an absolute force, which seems redundant given her enormous talent, but seeing her play a conductor that keeps you guessing is truly one of her best performances to date. I love Michelle Yeoh and I wouldn’t mind if she won. Andrea Riseborough is equally incredible and truly deserves to win as well. But there’s something about Cate’s performance that had me in sheer awe. The power she possesses onscreen is a sight to behold.

[@RajCol]

I love Michelle and thought she was excellent in EEOAO. Yet to watch To Leslie. But what Cate gives in Tar is an absolute masterclass in acting. The movie itself is stunning. As much as I would love to have Michelle be the first Asian Best Actress winner (I myself as South Asian), Cate absolutely deserves this on the quality of the performance.

[@raulputong331]

Hopefully, Risborough's nomination will make the academy voters focus on sheer acting ability and not sentimental favourites. That's how Anthony Hopkins won over the late great Chadwick Boseman. By this standard, Cate Blanchet's brilliant performance is supreme.

[@joshjephillips]

Although I’m in a professional choir and the world of music I found the film just grey and dull. It was like “look at this great film we made”. But I understand it’s doing really well critically and lots of people like it so just not for me personally

As a huge fan of Cate Blanchett as an actor and public persona, I agree she is amazing. I am thankful for KZbin for sharing so much insight of her work, personality and influences. I too regret she did not get any Oscar recognition but it’s “just an award”.However, I doubt the little metal statue is why she does what she does which we admire her for including her previous remark of award shows being akin to horse races and telling it like it is. I wish her true fans had a way of showing their appreciation other than just watching her performances. I am glad Michele was finally given recognition for her work after all these years as well.

This movie should have won Oscar, lets not even talk about Cate Blanchett being CRIMINALLY ROBBED for not winning the leading role. She was absolutelly mindblowing in this film, it's incredibly incredibly difficult role yet Cate mastered it so realistically and beautifully that you believe her to be Tar in every scene, with every gesture, every look, every move. Just surreal, really. It's beyong SHOCKING that Academy didn't awarded her, instead they awarded Michelle for Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. I watched that film too and Michelle can't level up Cate Blanchett's performance, she can't come not even close to maestro talent Cate is and the performance she gave. She rather seems like a school student compared to Cate. I am still in shock, I kinda lost respect for Oscar this year; it seemed really more about politics than about awarding the best talent/best performance.
